Abstract Hepatic lipid accumulation, or Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), is a significant risk factor for liver cancer. Despite the rising incidence of MASLD, underlying mechanisms steatosis and lipotoxicity remain poorly understood. Interestingly, accumulation also occurs during fasting, driven by mobilization adipose tissue-derived fatty acids into liver. However, how hepatocytes adapt to increased flux nutrient deprivation what differently in MASLD not known. To investigate differences handling response deficiency excess, we developed novel single-cell tissue imaging (scPhenomics) technique coupled with spatial proteomics. Our investigation revealed extensive remodeling droplet (LD) mitochondrial topology dietary conditions. Notably, fasted mice exhibited mitochondria-LD interactions, which were rarely observed Western Diet (WD)-fed mice. Spatial proteomics showed an increase PLIN5 expression, known mediator LD-mitochondria interaction, fasting. examine functional role interaction on handling, overexpressed variants. We found that phosphorylation state impacts its capacity form contact sites. S155A promoted organelle triglyceride (TG) synthesis, LD expansion fed control diet. Conversely, S155E expressing cells had fewer LDs sites contained less TG. Wild-type (WT) overexpression WD-fed reduced improved redox despite continued WD consumption. These findings highlight importance interactions metabolism, revealing critical mechanism maintain homeostasis metabolic stress. study underscores potential utility targeting therapeutic intervention.
